All Out liquidator containing Allethrin, a pyrethroid used as mosquito repellant is present in nearly all households. A 1-year-old baby girl drank a sip of all-out liquid while playing with her toys in the presence of her family members. They tried to make her vomit by inserting finger in her throat but failed. Within 5 minutes after ingesting the liquid, she was taken to nearby hospital and gastric lavage was initiated. Later on she was referred to a higher centre. She was kept under observation and was given charcoal after 1.5 hours of drinking all out liquid. This case emphasizes the importance of awareness amongst parents about household poisons and obtaining information through poison information centers. Various issues have been highlighted in this case report.
